I drove AWS migration initiatives that reduced infrastructure costs by 30% through strategic planning, architecture optimization, and readiness assessments.

I have successfully managed global teams across India, Singapore, and Australia, consistently achieving over 90% client satisfaction. My experience includes complex data integration across SQL, SAP HANA, Redshift, Teradata, and Big Data platforms. As a certified SAFe Scrum Master, I championed Agile transformation by facilitating sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog management. Additionally, I oversee a portfolio of corporate security programs involving Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Cortex XSOAR, IPAM, and Infoblox. I manage end-to-end delivery, coordinate implementation efforts, and align with internal stakeholders and vendors to enhance endpoint protection and cybersecurity posture.

My contributions have been recognized through multiple awards, including Best Project Lead and Innovation POC Winner for a BFSI client.
